God LOVES people in Tikapur

Oh wow... It's been almost 2 months since I posted something here. Of course, a lot of things have happened during this time, but I will tell about it later. (hopefully) :)

Today I want to share what our Father has put on my heart. It is about Tikapur.
Tikapur is a small town in Nepal. People are awesome and their hospitality is crazy! When we first came to the village these people made a path from flowers for us, swept the dust from our shoes with their hats and kissed our hands. However, people are really poor here, especially in the close villages. I mean REALLY poor. Mud houses, dirty and torn clothes, no money to send children to school etc. And as it usually happens, in such poor places there is a HUGE issue of alcohol addiction. Along with it, women are half of the value of men. So men don't respect women AT ALL! To be honest there vere several times I just wanted to cry or beat up someone when I saw how men treat these poor women and children here. And the worst thing is when you know what they do is wrong but you can't change a thing...

Though it doesn't mean there's no hope.

What hit me recently is that God's love really has no limits!! Despite the past of these people: alcohol addictions, worshiping millions of gods, disrespect and the worst thing - selling their children... God still loves them all!!!!! And they are so precious to the Lord!

Psalm 139

1 You have searched me, Lord,
    and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
    you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
    you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
    you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
    and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
    too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
    your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
    they would outnumber the grains of sand—
    when I awake, I am still with you.

 Only Father could send some random people from Ukraine, Russia, the US, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Canada to show His love and pray for them. I'm soooooo happy to be part of it! 4 people got saved in one day! God keeps revealing Himself to them. And I hope there would be some who can be true Christian leaders for them.
